Perhaps it is testament to where I am in this journey that starting off the day with espresso cup full of a revolting white blood cell-boosting herb mixture and steroid eye drops constitutes "relatively normal". Bizarre.
I did actually feel pretty good for the day up until around 5p, when I tend to get tired most days. I saw Dr. Karen to get referrals for Remie (psychiatrist) and me (to Dr. Susan, my radiation oncologist who I see on Wednesday to plan out that next step). I had lunch with Hiraani, did the grocery shopping (no bruises from carrying the bags) and did reading groups in Remie's class. I spent some individual time with Alex and Remie while the other was doing piano lessons at home in the afternoon. All good.
After dinner I watched a story on The Kids Cancer Project. Wow. The funding they are providing for finding ways to treat neuroblastoma and other forms of children's cancer is amazing. And wow again to the children fighting cancer. What they have to go through is heartbreaking and their bravery is humbling. I suppose it is amazing what we can all find within us when we have to.
